Goodbye, old friend. Even with Shock coming back, you will be missed.

You people need to stop comparing this to incinerate and lightning bolt. The reason why WotC hasn't put them in instead of this is because they are absolutely ridiculous. Their existence does not make this any worse of a card. There are certainly worse burn spells WotC could have put in.

Its a worse Lighting Bolt, that much is certain. the problem I'm having is determining if nerfing it that was necessary or not.

Lightning Strike. Looks like Searing Spear will be in Standard for two more years.

I'm not gonna be popular by saying this, but yes, I agree that people have been spoiled by the very powerful Lightning Bolt.
They now use it as a measuring stick to which every burn spell is to be compared too.
For me it's just sad that people take Lightning Bolt for granted and consider the others trash. That shouldn't be the case. Those people should realise that Lightning Bolt was VERY strong. It shouldn't, by all means, be the "standard" burn spell.

It's great how a card that, 99% of the time is Incinerate, has a rating about half that of Incinerate.

Incinerate was good. Lightning Bolt was too good.

I spose, anyways. Never was a red player, but that is what I can gather.
